Adobe will not open

Orignally started with adobe X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with adobe XI. Even removed all registry entries. Any idea's?

Disabling Protected Mode did not work for me. I did NOT try auto-repairing (Control Panel >Add Remove Programs > Adobe Reader XI > Change > Repair).
What worked for me was:
- go to Task Manager
- find all instances of "Acrobat Reader" (file name is AcroRd32.exe) and end all of these processes
- find "Adobe Acrobat SpeedLauncher" (file name is reader_sl.exe) and end the process (note: skip this step and the issue will not disappear)
- launch Acrobat Reader - it should open this time
- accept EULA if it was not yet accepted
Before I did the steps above:
- Acrobat Reader was not starting when I was double-clicking on a PDF file
- Acrobat Reader was not starting when I was trying to open it directly
- A new instance of AcroRd32.exe process was appearing in the Task Manager every time I tried one of the above actions. This resulted in a couple of AcroRd32.exe processes running in parallel after some time. Killing all of these processes and trying to open Acrobat Reader again did not resolve the issue. The missing step was killing reader_sl.exe process.

My adobe will not open my jpeg pics

We do not know what your Adobe is as our Adobe is a company, not a software program.
If you are tryint open jpegs with Adobe Reader or Adobe Flash Player you are out of luck since they do not open files of that type. If you are trying to edit jpegs you need a program like Adobe Photoshop Elements. If you only want to view jpegs, they you can direct almost any web browser to the file for viewing. There are many free software programs for viewing and editing jpeg files.
ImageJ - RSB Home Page
ImageJ is provided the the U.S. Government's National Institue of Health. It will open jpegs with no issue.

Newly updated Adobe will not open!

I am running Windows XP professional 2002. I have just updated to Adobe 9.3. It now will not open and goes immediately to "Adobe 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Details say Error Signature
AppName: acrord32exe.
Any suggestions?

Ask in the Reader forum. You appear to be asking about Adobe Reader 9, not Adobe Acrobat 9. These are two different products and the problems differ between products.

Just purcashed more memory. adobe will not open.

just purchased memory adobe is not opening.

Your brevity is impressive.
Please tell us a few more details, like operating system, how much memory you have (and how much did you have before), what error messages you are getting, do other programs work, and the exact sequence of steps you went through from purchasing memory (I assume you mean you installed the memory as well, but please tell us if that is what you mean) to the inability to open "adobe" (I assume you mean Photoshop Elements, but please tell us what you really mean)

Adobe will not open PDF files from other programs

This is on one of the computers in our office. We use a medical records program called Sevocity. This program stores documents that we import into the electronic charts as PDF files. When we upgraded that computer from Adobe to Adobe Pro, it no longer opened the PDF documents stored there. Is this an issue with the medical program or with Adobe Pro? We already had Sevocity Support attempt to fix the problem, but they said the issue looked like it was with Adobe.
We would like to troubleshoot by re-installing AdobePro, but we want to make sure that none of our files stored to the Adobe Document Cloud. If we re-install Adobe, will those documents still be available in the online Adobe account's Document Cloud, or do we need to move those documents to the collective Creative Cloud?

Yeah, it does open from other sources like "My Documents", but sometimes it won't open the print previews in our billing system either. Communication error with secure sites and programs, maybe? I don't get an error message, though. It just displays the "processing" symbol next to the mouse for a second or two like it does when PDF's usually open, and then nothing happens. We are using Windows 7 on that computer. The other computer that runs on Windows 7 also has Adobe Pro XI, but does not experience these problems. I have also put in a ticket with Sevocity (the program that is not communicating with Adobe).
And that's a relief about the Document Cloud! We will try to re-install just in case it was something that went wrong with the initial install.

Adobe Will Not Open Automatically

Using Adobe Reader installed under Trend anti virus system; Trend now gone replaced with Norton. Still produces same message.
Trying to open a pdf file always produces the following:
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Temp\(file name)
Application not found
How to fix so opening pdf is automatic

Sorry Pat I am a new hand at using these boards (if that is what they are called)
Answers to your questions I hope:
I have been unable to open pdf files with this computer since I installed the Trend Anti virus. That is why I removed it and put Norton360 in it's place having had that on all my machines for years, I order for me to actually open the file I have to trace it's source using the path I wrote in my opening question.

Adobe will not open documents

Hello, I cannot seem to open any documents, a dialog box keeps telling me that adobe is in procted mode, and it is in an unsupported configuration, can you help please.

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

My Adobe photo shop will not open

All files,without prompting, come up missing. Now adobe will not open because of missing files directs me to re install but I cannot do that it appears without buying back in. We just erased the version once and downloaded again prompted by your tech but Now I am out and cannot get back in. Lost some very valuable images not replaceable. Purchased the program Nov 23, 2012. Lots of trouble with it. Would gladdly settle with my money returned but if not need to have the program work. I am out a lot of money if I lose my images. My email is
[email protected]

Sorry I did not know you do not have techs is it more important to know
that than why in hell your program loses images and now I cannot get
back in. I explained I tried to download but was directed to a window
which payment plan I wanted one yr two years three years and the costs.
So myh question is can you help me? Someone representingt Adobe took
over from Iyogi trying to help and took over the downloading but the
downloading was not complete at first I could only access one have of
the page of Adobe Photoshop element 11. So do you have some advise for
me or are you more concerned with the accuracy of my misdirected
queries. This is the first time I have every had an answer like yours.
Do you have someone in yhour company who can help with my problem or
not. I can use other methods if necessary to have my money returned.

Adobe Bridge CS6 will not open

Just started trial of Adobe Photoshop CC ( CS6 and Bridge CS 6)
Photoshop downloaded ok but Bridge CS6 will not open after installation.
I have used Adobe Bridge with CS2 before but since removing CS2 and installing CS6 and Adobe Bridge 6 64Bit Adobe Bridge will not open.
Help
watchet7

CS2 seems to conflict with CS6. One user found this to work. AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

Adobe Bridge CC will not open

Hello,
I have quite a few CC products downloaded. Everything has been working fine, but then Bridge stopped opening. I uninstalled Bridge CC and reinstalled and I still can not open the program as a stand alone, or from within Photoshop CC. I click on the application, the icon bounces on the bottom doc and then closes. In Photoshop, I click "browse in Bridge" or "open Mini Bridge"-I get a message, "waiting for Bridg"e and then the program does not open.
I started having a problem when I followed Adobe's directions and tried to add the "Import Workspace ( I was trying to made contact sheets in Bridge) into the approporiate application's folder in Bridge. For some reason, this computer did not like me doing this. On my other mac, (not running maverick), everything (the import panel was successfully added) is fine. I went ahead and unistalled Bridge and reinstalled it on my laptop, but still can not open Bridge.
Before I uninstall and reinstall Bridge CC again, I have a feeling there must be something else I should be doing or checking to see what is going on. Is there a hidden cache? I have just updated all my cc apps and thought maybe there was a bug, but the program still will not open.
I am using mac, Maverick.
Here is a screen shot of the program folders.
Help would be appreciated as the hold time for Adobe is 30 minutes plus.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Probably same fix posted on Feb 5.
If the person posting the original post would Mark post correct then people would know problem has been solved.

Ok, 6 hours later it's a fix for me!
Not sure if it'll work for you but it was quite simple.
Open Finder > (go) Computer > Macintosh HD (for me) > Users > Click once on the Home icon (main admin) > Get Info >
click on lock and authorise bottom right > click on cog wheel drop down > click on 'Apply to enclosed items' > OK
Close info window and try to open bridge
